Siege of Jhansi

The Siege of Jhansi (550 CE) was a battle between the city-states of Kanpur and Jhansi in northern India.

History
The city-states of Uttar Pradesh in northern India fought a series of campaigns against each other during the monsoon season, with Kanpur destroying the city of Banda early in 550 CE. The army that destroyed Banda, made up of cavalry, infantry, and siege onagers, marched north on Jhansi to destroy the rival city. Unlike Banda, Jhansi had a small army to protect itself, but Kanpur's onagers destroyed several of the city's buildings. Kanpur's infantry massacred the villagers, and the city was reduced to rubble before its sultan tendered his resignation.
